Thanks to BrolyBroMan we're releasing a DSi NAND with the SDMC Launcher bootloader. This bootloader is installed during the first stage of factory testing (the BOARD test) when the DSi has no firmware or any other data in NAND. SDMC Launcher will load SRLs off of the SD card, and is the only way to boot software early on.
The specific NAND we have originally passed factory testing, got sold to a customer, then was later returned to the factory and went through the BOARD test a second time. The only change was the addition of SDMC Launcher, with the original v1.4.4U firmware and system files left intact.
